Choir

Choir is a performance-based class offered in middle school (7th-8th grade) and high school (9th-12th grade).  The goal of this course is to teach the fundamentals of music to enable students to use their voices confidently and experience the joy of singing.  We explore how the voice works, learn to read music and how to harmonize as well as broaden musical knowledge by learning pieces from different cultures and genres.  Students prepare music for concerts at the annual Christmas Arts Trail and Spring Arts Showcase.  They also have the opportunity to audition for Alabama All State Choir and to participate in the Madison County Honors Choir.  Students get to showcase their individual talents on Performance Fridays, a fun quarterly event which builds camaraderie and teaches performance etiquette not only as a performer but also as an audience member.
